Firmware window keeps open at startup

Hi
I just bought a new macbook pro and after updating the software i updated the firmware, but after updating the firmware it tells me that "theComputers firmware is Ajour with version 1.0.1 of the macbook pro update". This screen opens everytime i start up.
How do i get it to go away?

Here goes a wild guess. Go to System Preferences, Accounts pane, Login Items. See if it's on the list. Remove it.
After that, call Apple (800-275-2273, opt 1).

Itunes window keeps opening up

Yesterday when I connected my ipod touch to the computer, an update to itunes downloaded, successfully I believe. However, now the itunes window/program keeps opening up on my computer by itself. I will close it and then 10 or so minutes later it opens up again. Very annoying. Does anyone know what this is happening and how to stop it?
Thanks.

That seems to have fixed it!
The first time I quit and restarted iTunes, the tutorial window did come up again without a Show at startup box near the bottom. I thought your suggestion hadn't worked so I quit iTunes again. Then, upon a second restart, the tutorial window didn't show up at all. So I guess it is fixed then. No window at all was ultimately what I wanted.

ITunes Tutorials Window Keeps Opening Upon Start Up

There is no option on that window to never show up again. I went through all of the iTunes settings, preferences and other options but I could not find any sort of check box or anything to have the tutorials not show up upon iTunes start up.
How do I keep this window from popping up?

Since updating to 25.0.1, spam windows keep opening up

Typically, the 2nd window opens if I click on an open page; the 2nd window contains spam (unsolicited ads). I do not know how to stop this. Today, PC Cleaner(?) opened a new tab; other unknown and unrequested tabs "volunteer" themselves. This is an ongoing problem since the last update. Help!!! I have used FireFox for years without any problems, and recommend it to everyone with a computer. Please advise me on how to stop all this unwanted garbage!!!

hello SDMcRoy, this sounds like some sort of adware/malware is active on your system. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Finder window keeps opening up and popping up in front of all windows

Every minute or so a finder window opens and pops up in front of all open window - including the window I am working in (no matter which application). It does not even open to my regular finder - it opens to a sub folder that is on the sidebar as a shortcut. Might have started after security update that was not necessarily completed because after 6 hours I tried to cancel, then force quit, it wouldn't work, so I forced the computer to restart.

Registration Window keeps opening?

Hi
I recently installed Windows 7RC on my computer and then reinstalled all my Adobe software.
My system is set to dual boot to Windows XP and Windows 7 RC.
This is more of an anoyance then a real problem but if anyone has any ideas how to stop it, I would like to hear them.
Since reinstall everytime I open any of my Adobe software, Indesign CS3, Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS2, Premiere, the registration window opens.
The first few times I went through the process of registering again with all of them. I recieved the "Thank you for registering E-mail etc.
This doesn't happen in XP.
Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
Mike

Hi again.
For what it is worth I haven't had any problems installing or running any of my Adobe software in Windows 7RC.
I'm running Photoshop CS3, Indesign CS3, Illustrator CS4, and Premiere 4. I'm also running a lot of other software ( some very old ) and have had no problems with any of them with one exception.
The Only thing that won't seem to run is Norton Ghost 10, which doesn't want to install.
I'm still able to run it from my XP installation but when I get my new computer I may have to update it if I'm not going to dual boot.
I'm not pushing Microsoft but Windows 7 looks like what I have been wishing for, for years.
An operating system that really works, and fixes it's own problems when it detects one.
After not being able to get my scanner to work for a month with out booting into XP (no drivers availble from Epson, I looked for them myself on their web site), one day a popup appeared that said "Installing you scanner software" and then You're hardware is ready to use". And that was it I logged into Photoshop and the scanner worked.
As soon as the drivers appeared it found them downloaded them and installed them all on it's own.

2 monitors - windows keep opening out of reach of gadgets

I have two monitors and there is a frequent though inconsistent problem where the windows open too high to get the plus gadget and the reposition grab/drag bar at the top to work.
In addition, these windows open and sometimes behave as if they're not there -- example would be where I go to grab the top drag bar of a foremost stuck window and it activates the pull down menus on a lower window.
Is there a way to close or at least re-position these dead body windows? Keyboard commands are a bit iffy when this is happening as well.
But an unfailing keyboard shortcut would be very handy.
Thanks.

I tried this before .. without success .. I did it again. It works, under some circumstances. Here's what I found:
-If UDF's are attached to the window (i.e. ItemMaster) at the bottom and cascade is clicked, it moves out of the main screen and can not be grabbed and moved back.
-If UDF's are hidden (CtrlShiftU) then clicking cascade works and brings it back into the main screen area.
Seems to be a bug, IMHO
Thanks

Why does my track window keep opening up when I don't press anything on the keyboard, followed by logic crashing?

After five minutes of opening up logic the computer will start opening up the new track window followed by a new time signature window, this is an infinite loop that normally ends up with logic crashing. The problem started after plugging in my Yamaha psr-280 into the keyboard I've unplugged it but this seems to make no difference. Help??

Folder windows keep opening

I have a folder on my desktop that stays selected even when I click on the desktop or another folder, and every now and then the folder window opens over and over, until I have 30 or 40 open windows on the desktop. Sometimes when this is happening MSword will open too.
I have no idea what's going on or how to stop it. Any help is much appreciated!
thanks, sef

Not sure what you've done, but have you tried a restart?

Finder window opens on startup - alternate cause

I just had this problem come up, and it took quite a lot of digging to find out why. I thought I would post the cause of my particular problem and it's solution as a reference for others who have been unsuccessful at stopping a finder window from loading at startup.
For reference, here's what I tried that didn't work:
- Looked for the Finder listed in Preferences>Accounts>Login Items (wasn't there)
- Deleted User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.Finder.plist, restarted the dock, restarted computer.
- Changed background wallpaper (some said this worked for them)
I noticed in the Login Items something called "gstlauncherdaemon". As it turns out, this is part of the GimmeSomeTunes app. It causes the app to start when iTunes is launched. Well, apparently, it's also causing a Finder window to open on startup. You can disable this feature in the GimmeSomeTunes preferences. Personally I wanted to keep this feature, but couldn't stand the window. So I deleted the app and it's associated .plist file with AppZapper. The "gstlauncherdaemon" is no longer listed under Login Items and no window showed up on restart.
Hope this helps some who have been going mad over this like me. So if you've recently installed this app and are having a similar problem, it may very well be the culprit.

thanks for sharing this. I've seen a number of posts by people struggling (unsuccessfully) with a finder window opening at login. I don't know if any of them use GimmeSomeTunes but this is certainly something to consider.
